SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
1. Place the iron on the
cradle.
2. Press the steam
button down.
3. Press the
temperature control
button until the desired temperature
indicator light is flashing.
•
The temperature setting cannot be
changed unless the iron is on the
cradle.
• Refer to the Fabric Guide (shown
below) to select proper temperature
setting.
• Irons heat up more quickly than they
cool down, so start with lower
temperature settings and gradually
increase as needed.
• When ironing fabric blends, select a
temperature setting for the fabric
component that requires the lowest
temperature.
• When ironing fabrics that are
especially susceptible to heat, first
“test the fabric” by ironing in an
inconspicuous area of the fabric.
Utilize a pressing cloth as needed.
• Be sure to read garment care labels
since using improper temperature
settings could damage fabrics.
